Mature offering with solid app, but bonus rate conditions are stricter than category leaders.

PROS

CONS
1. Balance-growth bonus condition penalises any withdrawal that reduces month-end balance

KEY TAKEAWAYS

   Customers aged 18-29 get an additional rate uplift when they make 5+ eligible transactions per month with a linked Westpac Choice account.
3. AFSL 233714 — Westpac Banking Corporation
   Australia's first bank, established 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales. APRA-regulated, FCS-protected.
